Everton 2 Norwich 0
Everton inflicted Norwich's latest defeat as goals from Andros Townsend and Abdoulaye Doucoure saw the Premier League basement boys beaten 2-0 at Goodison Park.
Townsend put the hosts in front with a 29th-minute penalty, awarded after referee David Coote watched replays back pitchside of Ozan Kabak's challenge on Allan. Norwich midfielder Mathias Normann subsequently brought two good saves out of Jordan Pickford before Doucoure's finish doubled Everton's advantage in the 77th minute.
The result made it six defeats from six for Daniel Farke’s rock-bottom Canaries so far this term, with their losing run in the Premier League, including the final games of the 2019-20 season, now standing at 16 matches.
Rafael Benitez's Everton, returning to winning ways after their 3-0 loss to Aston Villa last weekend and Carabao Cup exit at QPR, are up to fifth in the table with 13 points from their six games.
Leicester 2 Burnley 2
Jamie Vardy scored an own goal but still rescued a point for Leicester and kept winless Burnley waiting for their first victory of the season. The striker put through his own net for the first time in his career but his brace ensured the Foxes grabbed a 2-2 draw.
Maxwel Cornet's goal left Burnley on the brink of their first win at Leicester for 14 years before Vardy struck with five minutes left. Chris Wood thought he had stolen the points in stoppage time when he headed in but the goal was correctly ruled out by VAR for offside.
The draw kept the battling Clarets, who impressed with their defensive resolve, in the Premier League drop zone while the Foxes sit 12th.
Leeds 1 West Ham 2
Michail Antonio struck in the 90th minute to snatch West Ham a 2-1 victory as Leeds' winless Premier League start was extended to six matches.
Leeds led at the break through Raphinha, but were punished again for failing to take their chances and after Junior Firpo’s second-half own goal, Antonio fired the Hammers’ last-minute winner.
The hosts’ inability to convert chances is threatening to undermine their second season back in the top flight and they slipped into the bottom three.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have equalled the club’s longest winless run from the beginning of a league campaign, set in 1935/36 and again in 1951/52.
Watford 1 Newcastle 1
An Ismaila Sarr equaliser denied Newcastle their first win of the Premier League season in a 1-1 draw at Watford. The Magpies went into the game with just two points so far in the league, before Sean Longstaff's curled 20-yard strike gave the visitors a 24th minute lead at Vicarage Road.
Newcastle looked on course for their first win of the season, finishing with 19 shots and with five on target, but were unable to add to their lead. Instead it was Watford who levelled the contest, when Ismaila Sarr found himself unmarked to nod home at the far post for a 72nd minute equaliser.
The Hornets thought they had a winner in the 87th minute when Joshua King slotted the ball past goalkeeper Karl Darlow — but VAR ruled the goal out for offside. The game had all the markers of a hard-fought relegation battle with Jarred Gillett awarding seven yellow cards on his maiden Premier League game in charge.
It was a moment of history for the Australian, who became the first referee from outside the UK and Ireland to take charge in the English top flight.
